Some political buffs, unaware of what they were letting themselves in for, started watching the returns at 7:30 P.M., vowed to watch until a candidate conceded. Some people were discovered asleep in front of the tv sets before breakfast the next morning, a good five hours before Nixon gave up. The election was a horse race, if a tedious one, all the way.

California and Iillinois were not tentatively decided until the next morning, and by then both candidates had gone to bed.

Yale's first big gift of the year came from Smith, Kline, and French's f the drug producersj Mahlon Kline, who donated ten million dollars to build three new science buildings.
